For the cast of “Supernatural,” it was not a love fest. That was the panel before: “Fringe.” This time, it was a laugh fest.

Cast members Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver and Mark Sheppard joined Jeremy Carver, newly returned to the show as executive producer, and consulting producer Ben Edlund to talk about their upcoming season of “Supernatural."

It was just about an hour of hilarity between cast members and their attempts not to reveal too much about the upcoming season, which premieres on its new night on Wednesdays. Here, however, is what was revealed:

Dean will escape purgatory pretty quickly and his time there will be emphasized throughout the upcoming season and shown in flashbacks.

“Dean can’t stick down there forever,” Ackles, who plays Dean, said. “He gets out, but telling you how would be too much of a tease.”

As Dean and Sam were separated at the end of last season, the relationships that they made apart from each other will continue and become very important.

Misha Collins said his character Castiel will return to the show.

Jim Beaver did NOT confirm whether or not his character Bobby would return to the show.

Edlund explained that there will be a chase for a power source that will introduce a game-changer. Whatever it is has been alluded to in previous seasons.

Sounds like there’s a lot to look forward to in the upcoming seasons:

“In the past, the boys have been reacting to things at the beginning of a season — this season they start off on offense,” Carver said. “It ties into the overarching mythology of the show. They are very much united in going after this one thing, notwithstanding the luggage they bring from their time apart.”
